"Believe it or not, that's up to you." Chu Feng said with a grin.
Looking at Chu Feng's unserious demeanor, Yin Zhuanghong shot him a glance before asking, "Why did you come to the Reincarnation Upper Realm?"
"I came to find Grandmaster Yuan Shu for a bit of business." Chu Feng said.
"Is that all?" Yin Zhuanghong asked.
"Pretty much." Chu Feng said.
Hearing this, a hint of guilt surfaced on Yin Zhuanghong's face.
She glanced at the token in her hand, then looked at Chu Feng. "Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for? Because I gave up this opportunity to you?"
"Don't be silly. Hurry up and go in."
"If I want to see Grandmaster Yuan Shu, I'll get my chance sooner or later."
Chu Feng said this with complete nonchalance, waving his hand at Yin Zhuanghong to signal her to hurry through that barrier gate.
"Don't leave yet. Wait for me outside." Yin Zhuanghong said to Chu Feng.
"What for? Is something up?" Chu Feng asked.
But Yin Zhuanghong didn't answer. Instead, she gripped the token, her slender figure leaping into the air as she vaulted toward the enormous barrier gate.
Clutching the token, Yin Zhuanghong passed smoothly through the barrier's grand entrance.
Seeing this, Chu Feng also launched himself forward, arriving before the barrier gate in the blink of an eye.
However, Chu Feng did not pass directly through the barrier gate. Instead, he stopped right in front of it.
He reached out to test it with his hand, only to discover that the barrier was like an impenetrable wall of copper and iron — his palm could not push through it at all.
This meant that, aside from holding that token, there truly was no other way to pass through this barrier gate.
It was a good thing he hadn't charged straight into the gate like Yin Zhuanghong had.
Otherwise, forget about getting in — he would have ended up with a bloodied head for sure.
With no hope of seeing Grandmaster Yuan Shu this time, Chu Feng gave up.
He retraced his steps, only to find that Fan Zhou and the others were nowhere to be seen — presumably they had already left the area.
Before long, Chu Feng returned to the palace where he had gathered with Fan Zhou and the others, and stepped through the barrier gate that the white-robed elder had left behind using his formation.
Chu Feng had originally thought that passing through the gate would bring him to another palace.
But after passing through, he realized he had guessed wrong.
The gate led him to a small plaza, and below the plaza lay the road down the mountain.
At that moment, a faint arc of a smile involuntarily tugged at the corner of Chu Feng's lips.
"Who would have thought that Senior White Robe could hold a grudge like this too."
He still remembered why the white-robed elder had opened this particular barrier gate.
The main reason was that after Li Xiao and the other juniors learned that only one person could pass the trial and meet Grandmaster Yuan Shu, they had begun grumbling and complaining nonstop.
